When I try to create a post in Apple Support Community, it forces me to create a new account (for some supersmart reason because my apple account is apparently not enough). In this process, I am required to pick a new username and choose my communications preferences. The next screen? 403 Forbidden Error page.
Apple Support Community website gives a 403 Error when creating account
That site has been having problems for the past month or so. Apple is aware of the problems.
Have you filed a bug report?
Hey I had the exact same issue and was watching this thread.
I tried again today and was able to create a new account in the Apple Support Community (Level 1, 0 points).
They may have fixed the issue.
